Me: "Hello, this is [Company Name]."

Caller: "Hi, who just called me?"

Me: "I’m not sure. You’ve reached general reception."

Caller: "Well, someone just called me from this number."

Me: "Sorry, but there’s no way for me to tell who called you, as this is the general number."

Customer: "What are you?"

(I explain the company.)

Customer: "I didn’t understand anything about what you just said. Why did you call me?"

Me: "It could be a wrong number."

Customer: "Ugh, fine. Stop wasting my time by calling me if you don’t know who you are, please!"

(I am checking out a customer and taking their details.)

Me: “Ma’am, what is your street name?”

Customer: “I don’t really have one of those. I usually just go by Shanice.”

Me: “Uh, ma’am, I meant the street name where you live.”

Customer: “Oh, I knew that!”

Caller: “I have a question about my account.”

Me: “I’d be happy to help! What email address do you use to log in?”

Caller: “It’s rogue@[email host].com.”

Me: “Sorry sir, I can’t seem to find that email in the system. To confirm, let me spell out the full address: r-o-g-u-e@[email host].com?”

Caller: “No, it’s *****r-o-u-g-e!”

Me: “Oh, “rouge” like the makeup. The word “rogue” is spelled r-o-g-u-e.”

Caller: “That’s not how “rogue” is spelled! I can’t believe how stupid your customer service is!”

Me: “If you want to be sure, you can check a dictionary for the correct spelling.”

Caller: “Fine, I will! I’m going to search dictionary.com right now!”

(A minute passes as he searches.)

Caller: “F***! I’ve been using this email for years! I can’t believe my guild members never pointed this out to me!” *hangs up*

(The customer spends several minutes staring at a selection of fudge, trying to decide which one she wants. Her daughter is standing in line with her.)

Customer: “Yes, I’d like a piece of caramel chocolate squirrel.”

Me: “Um…”

Daughter: “Mooommm!”

Customer: “What?”

Daughter: “It’s chocolate caramel swirl! I don’t think we want a chocolate caramel squirrel.”

Customer: “Excuse me, do you have an ‘ology’ section?”

Me: “Are you looking for biology, psychology, sociology?”

Customer: “No, just ‘ology’.”

Me: “I’m not sure what that is. Maybe you could explain it to me?”

Customer: “You know, speeches people give at funerals.”
